it seems, once a year, in november, i must crash.
in 2002 i wrote off my CG125 (much loved) into the side of a car, which pulled out in front of me.(loss of skin on my heel) (only helmet and gloves)
in 2003 i crashed my Suzuki Savage (much hated) due to a car pulling out in front of me, out of a parking space in the wet, being a cruiser with not much weight over the front wheel, it slid and dropped.(loss of skin on my right arm and leg) (only helmet and gloves)
In 2004 i crashed my 6 month old GN250 into the side of a car which decided to pull out in front of me, sore rib's, a strained hand were the only injuries (Jacket, Gloves, and Full face were worn)
In 2005 I dropped my much loved DT175-(one month old) on a hill, it stalled whilst going up, at the time i was teaching myself how to ride on dirt...i grabbed the front brake, and it rolled backwards, and over onto me, minor grazing from the footpeg on my leg-open face helmet, and gloves were worn, with saftey boots)
In 2006 I dropped my much loved NXR 125, whilst going down a sandy/clay track with the throttle open and the back hanging out most of the way, i slowed for a corner and lost the front, the knobblies didnt give me the grip, i barely had it leant over.
when i got up i was thinking....how the fuck did that happen (still trapped under bike), after lifting the bike off my bruised and grazed leg i founf the surface to be like ice once the sandy layer was removed.
my well worn MT60 didn't leg go...i was setting myself up for the corner when it let go.
i suppose being november i should have expected it! :shutup:
